What: The Linux Foundation will be performing a migration of the ODL
Gerrit migration from its current location in Rackspace private cloud
into a new instance in AWS. At the same time the identity backend will
be transitioning from ODLID to LFID.

When: Saturday, December 9, 2017 @ 07:00 - 11:00 PT (15:00 - 19:00 UTC)

Why: This is the next step in our continuing efforts to improve support
for all of our projects. Moving ODL's Gerrit system to LFID will improve
the ability for collaboration across all LF hosted projects but also
gets us one step closer to turning off the ODLID system. We will also be
seeing a major upgrade in Gerrit from 2.12.7 to 2.14.5+ We've been
holding on v2.12 for some time due to an outstanding communication issue
between newer Gerrit systems and Jenkins that has been finally resolved.

The reasons for the previous attempt being aborted have all been worked
out and this attempt has a high probability of actually succeeding this
time.

Impact: Gerrit will be offline for all of the maintenance window.
Jenkins will be put into shutdown mode 1 hour prior to the window start
to give any long running Gerrit triggered jobs a chance to finish before
Gerrit goes offline during the maintenance.

When Gerrit does come back online accounts will be in one of two states:

1) We have mapping information of ODLID -> LFID and will be updating the
account database accordingly (this includes merging down accounts that
somehow managed to get shared email addresses in them). These accounts
will be _enabled_ for login.

2) We do not have mapping information for accounts. These accounts will
be _disabled_ for login. Anyone finding their account in this state will
need to contact the ODL helpdesk [0] to update their account information.

If folks have any questions, concerns or requests related to this please
let me know, or open a helpdesk [0] ticket related to it.

Per usual, announcements on the maintenance will be sent out to the
lists and in the #opendaylight Freenode IRC channel prior to the start
and at the conclusion of the maintenance.
